Selling a home. Moorestown requires a certificate for change in occupancy or ownership before closing. Public Works checks that sump pumps and roof drains aren't tied into the sanitary sewer, the water meter works, sidewalks are safe, no construction permits are still open, and nothing encroaches on township land. The certificate is good for 60 days. New Jersey also requires a certificate for working smoke alarms, carbon monoxide alarms and a portable fire extinguisher before a one- or two-family home gets a new owner or tenant. Rules change, so check with the town before listing.
